Play Solana games with Solflare
You installed Solflare — now what? Solana Garden runs wallet-native games in your browser. Garden Dice is a good first game: try a free demo roll, then connect Solflare (or scan a Solana Pay QR on mobile) and pay from 0.001 SOL for a verifiable on-chain result. Not a casino — entertainment and bragging rights only.
Solflare not set up yet? Install the extension or mobile app, fund mainnet, then return here.
Wallet onboarding path Your first Solana paymentWhy Garden Dice fits Solflare users
- No download — runs in Chrome, Safari, or any browser where Solflare works.
- Free demo first — see commit-reveal fairness before you spend SOL.
- Desktop connect — Solflare extension approves the site like any Solana dApp.
- Mobile Solana Pay — scan a QR in Solflare without typing addresses.
- Tiny micropayments — rolls from 0.001 SOL, ideal for testing your wallet.

Step 1 — Try the demo (no Solflare needed)
- Use the demo panel above or open Garden Dice.
- Click Free demo roll. Note the commit hash shown before you roll — the server cannot change the outcome afterward.
- After rolling, the server seed is revealed. You can verify the math or read how provably fair dice works.
Step 2 — Prepare Solflare on mainnet
Before paying, confirm Solflare is ready:
- Mainnet Beta — not devnet. Solflare shows the active network in settings; switch to mainnet if your balance looks wrong.
- Some SOL — rolls start at 0.001 SOL plus a small fee. See how to get SOL in Solflare.
- Site permissions — first connect may ask you to approve solana.garden. See connect Solflare to a dApp.
Network fees are tiny on Solana — usually under 0.00001 SOL per transaction. See Solana transaction fees if you are worried about having enough for fees plus the roll.
Step 3 — Connect Solflare and pay
Use the pay panel above when you are ready:
- Desktop — open the Wallet tab, click Connect, choose Solflare (or use the Open in Solflare deep link if the extension is not detected), and approve. Pick 0.001 SOL (or up to 0.01), then confirm the transfer.
- Mobile — open the Solana Pay tab, scan the QR with Solflare, approve the amount, then tap I've paid — detect and roll if needed.

Step 4 — Verify and challenge friends
Paid rolls are verifiable on mainnet — match the server seed to the commit hash and open the transaction on Solscan. Share a beat-my-roll challenge link so friends try a free demo, then pay to beat your roll.
